California has adopted standards for all schools within
the state. The "English-Language Arts Content Standards
for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade
Twelve," represents a strong consensus on the skills,
knowledge and abilities that all children should be able
to master in language arts at specific grade levels during
13 years in the California public school system. Each
standard describes the content students need to master
by the end of each grade level.
